Using Legalpad to track agreements and signatures on legal documents.
|
||||
|
||||
= Overview =
|
||||
|
||||
Legalpad is a simple application for tracking signatures on legal agreements.
|
||||
You can add legal documents, users can sign them, and you can keep track of who
|
||||
has signed what.
|
||||
|
||||
Right now, it is primarily useful for open source projects that have a
|
||||
Contributor License Agreement or a similar document which needs to be signed
|
||||
before changes can be accepted from contributors. In particular, it has
|
||||
integrations into Differential which can block changes from being accepted until
|
||||
the author has signed the required documents.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Legalpad is a basic application, and missing many of the features of more
|
||||
general document signing software. It may be useful to help you do things
|
||||
beyond track CLAs, but you should evaluate its capabilities carefully.
|
||||
|
||||
Requiring a CLA
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Open source projects often require contributors to sign a license agreement
|
||||
before their contributions can be accepted to the project. To require a CLA or
|
||||
similar document for an open source project:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a CLA document in Legalpad.
|
||||
- Create a "Global" Herald rule which triggers "Always".
|
||||
- The rule should take the action "Require legal signatures", specifying
|
||||
your CLA document as the required document.
|
||||
|
||||
After you've done this, all new reviews created in Differential by authors who
|
||||
have not signed the document will trigger a signature requirement. These reviews
|
||||
can not be accepted until the document has been signed.
|
||||
|
||||
If the author has already signed all of the required documents, Herald will not
|
||||
take any actions. This reduces the amount of noise the CLA process generates for
|
||||
regular contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
You can require more than one document (to require that they all be signed), if
|
||||
you have several agreements that contributors must sign.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if you have several different sets of agreements for different
|
||||
projects, you can also choose a more narrow Herald condition than "Always" (for
|
||||
example, require a signature only if the revision is against certain
|
||||
repositories).
|
||||
|
||||
Document-Based Policies
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a document like an NDA, you can write a policy rule which prevents
|
||||
users from seeing content until they sign the document:
|
||||
|
||||
- In any policy control ("Visible To", "Editable By"), choose "Custom Policy".
|
||||
- Add a rule like "Allow signers of legalpad documents: X".
|
||||
- Leave the default rule as "Deny all other users".
|
||||
- Save the policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Users will now only be able to take the action (for example, view or edit the
|
||||
object) if they have signed the specified documents.
|
||||
|
||||
